💬 Interview Questions ▼

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

I asked my interviewer what he looks for in an applicant. He said that they are not looking for nerds. "A- students are a dime a dozen." He referred to the web site's profile of the student body section. He said that there are all kinds of people here. "Phd physicists to former firefighters." They pride themselves on having different and open-minded students.

What was the most interesting question?

I was asked to parallel the issue of gays in the Boy Scouts to gay teachers teaching in primary and secondary school. This question is probably pertinent only to me. I do work with scouitng.

What was the most difficult question?

I was asked to parrallel the case brought against mcdonalds by the fat guy that said mcD's made him fat to the lawsuits brought against tobaco companies by smokers. I kind of bombed this question. My answer should have been essentially that the case brought by the fat guy was different and not justifiable because unlike the tobaco companies mcD's does not put addicting additives in their products.
